Nick Downie (@nnnick) and ChallengePost invite designers and developers to visualize real personal data in a dashboard using Chart.js. Chart.js is an open source JavaScript library enabling easy creation of client side charts and graphs.

Create a browser-based dashboard with 3 or more Chart.js charts. Visualize real data that will help you track personal activities, optimize your life, and inspire others. Data could include social activity, entertainment, exercise, eating, or anything else you don’t mind sharing publicly!

You can use existing chart.js features and add or extend features to create your dashboard. Examples of potential new features include:

Alternative graph animation effects on charts using the in easing equations featured in Chart.js

New chart types showing data in beautiful, engaging ways

Re-using the string templating functions to generate the HTML for chart legends

How to enter

Create a personal dashboard. Visualize real personal data by designing a dashboard of 3 or more Chart.js charts. Use existing Chart.js features and, if you want, add or extend features.

Submit your dashboard by providing: 1) a URL where your dashboard can be viewed; 2) screenshots of your dashboard (for the website gallery); (3) a description of your dashboard and the personal data used; and 4) link(s) to any pull requests entered on the chart.js GitHub page (optional).
